Re: data Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) on Iseries -- MIDRANGE-L

If there is an "option for a complete refresh" to effect the representation of the "daily updates" at the target database, I would _consider_ using CREATE VIEW to define each of the target outputs; i.e. the joins, omitted columns, summaries, and other transformations. Then export\transfer the data into those equivalent TABLE objects in the target database. A script on the other database could /pull/ the data; for anything a VIEW could not as easily achieve, stored procedures might instead return the result sets.

New project requires ETL to copy Iseries data to .NET for www

Can be daily updates (no requirement for real time).
Can anyone suggest how to handle this?

I have to get changed data to Biztalk, and also have the option for a
complete refresh.

There will be data manipulation, for example joining to other files,
discarding unnecessary fields, etc.

What is a good method?
